Polish notation

Polish notation, also known as prefix notation, is a way of writing mathematical expressions where the operator (like +, -, *, /) comes before its operands (numbers). For example, instead of writing 3 + 4, you write + 3 4. This format eliminates the need for parentheses to specify the order of operations, making it easier for computers to interpret and evaluate expressions systematically. It’s especially useful in programming and mathematical logic because it simplifies parsing and calculation processes.
